NEW DELHI: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Friday rejected his state minister KN Rajanna’s claims over the possibility of major political shift within the state government and said that there is no internal dispute. While talking to the reporters at the Vidhan Soudha in Karnataka, Siddaramaiah suggested to ignore Rajanna’s statements. “There is no internal dispute in the party. Minister KN Rajanna has said that there may be developments in state politics. He said that he did not say that something like this would happen. It would be better to ignore his statement,” ANI quoted Karnataka CM as saying.Earlier, Cooperation minister Rajanna, a confidant of chief minister Siddaramaiah, said there are “too many power centres” within governing Congress in Karnataka and hinted at changes after September, sparking fresh speculation of a cabinet rejig and even a change of CM.Speculation of change has been doing the rounds after reports indicated deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar would take over from Siddaramaiah as CM, although the party high command has reportedly asked functionaries to keep mum on the issue.Asked whether Siddaramaiah will be replaced, Rajanna cryptically said: “It may or may not happen.”On reports that Siddaramaiah doesn’t command the same authority over the administration as his he did during his previous stint from 2013-18, Rajanna said: “From 2013-18 there was only one power centre. Now there are many, so there is more hustle and bustle. Keeping this in mind, he [Siddaramaiah] must manage the govt and party as well.“However, Rajanna’s cabinet colleague, public works minister Satish Jarkiholi, said he does not foresee major upheavals. “I don’t feel that way. I don’t see big changes, but there may be changes,” he said. On a cabinet reshuffle, he said, “There may be some changes, but not big changes.”There are also rumours that Shivakumar could be displaced as Congress state president. Rajanna said he is still a contender for the post and given a chance he will quit as minister and take up the role.
